I was sitting here thinking "cam! put a cam in the top of the groove!"

There's nowhere to place any pro further up in the groove, as I understand it -- it just peters out. It's a big (and usually painful) potential fall:

Hey, go you for taking the leader falls on solid pro! I think there's a lot to be said for having the mini-epics and finding that you do have the resources to get yourself out of them.

Btw, I rec Neal's Yard comfrey oil or arnica oil for rubbing into bruised/strained bits (I go for comfrey for strains, arnica for bruises). Actually seems to accelerate healing.
